From Markham and Vaughan to Richmond Hill, Aurora and Newmarket — repaints for large detached homes, two-storey foyers and pre-sale refreshes, with firm per-sq-ft pricing and every promise put in writing. York Region's big detached homes price like anywhere else: walls from $2.35 a square foot of floor; the minimum varies by address.
Nine municipalities, one rate card. The four packages below are quoted against floor area and are identical in Markham, Vaughan, Richmond Hill and everywhere else in York.
| Package | What is painted | Materials | Warranty | Per sq ft of floor area |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fresh Start | Walls, two coats | Contractor-grade | 2 years | $2.35–2.75 |
| Full Refresh | Walls and ceilings, in dedicated ceiling paint | Mid-grade | 2 years | $3.30–3.70 |
| Complete Home ⭐ most chosen | Walls, ceilings, baseboards and window casings | Mid-grade | 2 years | $4.60–5.10 |
| Signature Finish | All of the above, with enhanced preparation and high-detail work | Premium-grade | 2 years | from $5.50 |
Lower end: vacant home, standard 8' ceilings, light/similar colours, normal condition. Upper end: occupied home, 9'+ ceilings, stronger colour changes, additional cutting/preparation.
Doors with frames, both sides — $150–225 each, any package. Doors sit outside all four packages and are counted per door, because a house with fifteen of them is a different job from a house with five.
2-year workmanship warranty on every package — the same two years whether you book walls only or the whole interior. Materials are specified by grade rather than by brand; the exact product and the colour codes go on the written specification before anyone opens a can.
Projects from $750 minimum. Your exact minimum depends on the project location within the region. There is no travel line on the invoice and there never will be: the rates above are the same everywhere we work, and the minimum is the one thing distance changes.
York's characteristic job is the large detached family home, and its characteristic feature is volume: double-height foyers, open-to-above stairwells and long sightlines where a cut line is visible from two floors. That is work you cannot rush, and it is the honest reason a big house in York tends to sit higher in its range than a same-sized bungalow elsewhere. North of Aurora the stock changes again, toward older village housing and rural properties.
One standard for all nine, and one published rate card — the region is large, the price list is not.
Nine municipalities, one painting company. IntraBuild serves the whole of York Region — Vaughan, Markham and Richmond Hill in the south, then Aurora, Newmarket, Whitchurch-Stouffville, East Gwillimbury and King through the middle, with Georgina at the top on Lake Simcoe. Everything we do inside a home is described on our interior painting page; this page is about how that plays out in York.
York's signature job is the large detached family home: four-plus bedrooms, an open two-storey foyer, and often more than one generation under the roof. Add pre-sale repaints timed to listing dates, century-home work in Unionville and Thornhill, estates on King Township acreage and lakeside houses in Keswick, and no two weeks of painting here look alike.
A Unionville century home, a 1990s Richmond Hill two-storey and a brand-new East Gwillimbury build are three different prep jobs. We look at the walls first, then price the work — the house decides the approach, not a template.
Full-house repaints including the tall work — two-storey foyers, open stairwells and high great-room walls, properly laddered and staged.
Baseboards, casings, crown and door slabs, brushed or sprayed, with tidy transitions where flooring changed during past renos.
Bannisters and spindles, wall units and closets, plus prime-and-paint on freshly boarded basement drywall.
Plaster in Unionville, Thornhill and old Newmarket gets patient prep; newer Vaughan and Stouffville drywall gets speed and sharp lines.
York Region treats its houses as investments that happen to be lived in, and the painting follows that logic. Vaughan, Markham and Richmond Hill hold some of the GTA's largest and most frequently traded housing stock, and a striking share of our work here is transaction-adjacent: whole-interior repaints before listing, buyer repaints in the empty weeks after closing, and refreshes timed to appraisals. These projects run to a listing standard — one bright, continuous neutral through the principal spaces, ceilings genuinely white rather than approximately, trim crisp enough for the photography that sells at this price point — and they run on real-estate deadlines, planned backwards from the shoot or the possession date. (Aurora has its own detailed page, linked below, and Newmarket books through this one.)
Between transactions, the houses themselves set the bar high. The region's signature interiors — double-height foyers, kitchens open to family rooms, wainscoted dining rooms, oak stairs with painted spindles — were built to entertain, and owners maintain them that way: full repaints ahead of weddings and milestone dinners are a genuine local category, complete with a hard date the schedule must respect. The finished basement is the other constant; whether it hosts grandparents, a tenant or a teenager's kingdom, it gets the durable, washable treatment and a recorded colour so the inevitable touch-ups vanish.
The region's new vertical centres — the condo clusters rising at Vaughan Metropolitan Centre and downtown Markham — add tower logistics to the mix: elevator bookings, board paperwork, weekday hours, compact units where the minimum project math matters. And through every category, the buying culture is documentary: owners here compare bids seriously, so the transparent posted price structure and a written quote itemized to every room, ceiling, door and stair are not a nicety — they are the entry requirement.
From the Mississauga base, the southern cities — Vaughan, Markham, Richmond Hill — sit about an hour up the highway, with Aurora, Newmarket and the northern townships a little beyond that.
Your written quote already accounts for the drive. Thornhill, Stouffville or a Keswick house near Lake Simcoe — the number you sign holds, unless the house turns out different from what we were shown.
Plenty of York homes hold three generations. We stage the work so bedrooms stay usable and kitchens keep running — nobody moves out while we paint.
Room order and dates are fixed in advance — useful when a listing date or a family event rides on the repaint — and cleanup happens daily, not at the end.
Whether it's a pre-sale refresh in Markham or a full repaint of a Vaughan two-storey, the sequence never changes: measure and quote in writing; prep — cover, patch, sand, caulk; prime, with tinted primer where a bolder colour is going on or coming off; paint two coats with sharp ceiling and trim lines, one zone at a time; then walk the house with you and clean up properly. Each stage is explained on our interior painting service page.
The neighbouring markets each carry their own detailed pages — see interior painting in Aurora, Toronto and Durham Region. Packages live on our interior painting page; pre-listing palette strategy is covered in paint colours that sell and rent, and the tower logistics playbook in our guide to condo painting in Toronto.
Pre-sale refresh, foyer repaint or the whole house — anywhere from Vaughan to Georgina, we'll measure, listen and hand you a firm written price. No cost, no obligation.
